Season 1
2007 | 6 Episodes
National Public Radio's long-running documentary series makes the leap to TV, telling stories culled from all across the nation. Host Ira Glass (who's pulling double-duty on the TV show as he's also the radio host) and a team of filmmakers spends months on the road finding stories they think would be interesting to viewers--stories involving Iowa pig farms, an Illinois hot-dog stand, and a man who spends several hours a day in his family's mausoleum, among other tales. Many of the stories featured on the show were originally told on the radio show, with video added for the TV audience.
